Women please help i am going to be banded wednesday feb21 only four days away. I am a little over a week late on my period, i took four pregnancy test all were negative im worried that there could still be a chance because i am never late. What should i do?

im thinking possiably the stress of the surgery coming up has delayed it.

Oh wow..how stressful! The did a pregnancy test for me right before I went into surgery..that morning. Hopefully you'll know before your surgery. I'm sure you are right...just thinking about the surgery was stressful for me too. I hope everything works out ok!!! Good luck

Just call your doctor so they can do a blood test. It might be the stress of the surgery or if you are on a liquid diet that could disrupt your cycle. Are you using the pregenacy strips designed for early dectection since you are only a week late?

I bought two of the clear blue early detection pregnancy test total of four within the two boxes all came out negative.

I was on the cottage cheese/yogurt diet was having problems and feeling sick off of that so my clinic put me on a chicken diet yesterday.

I havent even got a chance to think about the surgery because i have been stressing so much over if im going to have this period or not. I have a 9month old daughter so this was the last thing i was expecting to happen.

Sounds like it's lack of nutrition. When I did Atkins, I missed periods all the time. I was told it was the diet. ~Mandy

this same thing happened to me - i was banded 1/8/07. I ended up getting a blood test from my OBGYN, but the nurse told me that they are just as accurate as urine tests. When it was negative as well, she said the change in food and the "stress" of the upcoming surgery was probably the culprit. Good luck!

I'm with ya on the stress issue. I missed mine right before my Tummy Tuck. I'm sure it was the stress of the whole issue now. Stress can do funny things to our bodies.

Stress is a definite possibility. If you're more than a week late, an over-the-counter urine test is probably pretty accurate unless your hormone levels are unusually low. But to be safe you should have a blood test.

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣
